I always struggle with calling bubble tea ‘boba’ because in my native language (and Taiwan’s) it means ‘big boobs’

Lmao I am on a roll. Tickled pink that Liu Yuning, Zhou Shen and various Chinese musicians are speaking Hokkien in this clip.
Btw the dude with the hat is speaking my type of Hokkien! Kaki lang!

Such a cute video!
Guy - Zhangzhou Hokkien, older lady - Xiamen Hokkien. Kid - Mandarin (though learning from both!)
100% understand the guy! It's so comforting to know I can be understood in one part of China 😆. Apparently the Hokkien I speak is from Zhangzhou.
Tho I noticed they do use different words for somethings. Penang Hokkien has lots of loan words from English and Malay 😅

To add to the confusion in terms of Chinese languages/dialects, there are variants of Hokkien. I, for the life of me, could not understand the thick accents of Taiwanese and most of Fujian's Hokkien.
Apparently Penang Hokkiens are descendents of Zhangzhou Fujianese, so I went digging for a clip.
The last guy is definitely a brother from another mother!
It's kinda funny how different Zhangzhou Hokkien is from the others 😆
Ok now I want to go to Zhangzhou, China to see if they understand my Hokkien! it's nice to know if I go to China there's a tiny part of the country that understands my dialect.

I can actually understand it! Well, ok almost; their accent makes it difficult for me to completely understand them. (My version of Hokkien has a very, very different accent.) Cool that Fujian aka Hokkien is kinda similar to my Hokkien

Still loving this song. Ironically I understand the Cantonese lyrics better than the Teochew one.* I thought the Hakka version of the song was the most beautiful.
* I say ironically because Hokkien is a close cousin of Teochew, so I should understand what she's saying but I don't. Probably because Penang Hokkien is a Creole version that is probably not understandable to anyone outside Malaysia 😆

Das ist eine der selteneren Versionen meines Songs! Die taiwanesische (Hokkien) Adaptation von "Was uns verbindet" hat einen ganz eigenen musikalischen Charakter. Ein spezieller Gruß an Taiwanesisch-Sprecher – #Taiwanese #Hokkien #SelteneSprachen https://youtu.be/CW06X_fJmKU?si=ocnwq2028rd8BTtT

Had my first early #Christmas get-together on Saturday evening. The closer to Christmas, the busier people are, and the worse traffic gets. So we like to be early. 🤪
'Twas a lovely evening. 😊
I learned something new!Mi-sòaⁿ Chhin / 麵線親 / 面线亲
I'm translating it as "noodle relative/s". 😄 It's about relations like in #SixDegrees but with some relatives in the [thin] connecting threads. #Chinese #Fujian #Minnan #Hokkien #family
Do you folks have a similar thing in your #language? 😃

@dlupham
You said: "What is so different about the Taiwanese dialect of Hokkien that it needs a different name?" I gave you direct answers with the examples of #Québecois (which uses a different name from #French 🇫🇷) and #Taiwanese 🇳🇫 which contains many words not used in #Hokkien 🇨🇳 (Does #Cockney deserve its own name?), and you're still not satisified. -
@dlupham @focus_taiwan_en
Ever heard of "#Québecois"?

What is different about #Taiwanese 🇳🇫 and #Hokkien 🇨🇳?

If "#Hokkien" is "commonly known as #Taiwanese," why don't you just call it that?

I have a whole bunch of marine puns in a different language that I doubt more than 1 other person at work would understand.
In Taiwanese / Hokkien,
‘Hae’ means shrimp
‘Heh’ means fishSo since I was a child my cousins and I have always been saying shrimp shrimp shrimp or fish fish fish for ‘hehehehe’ laughing
It was meant to be

@jkn I've always been under the impression (and noticed in my travels) that #Taiwanese #Hokkien is more widely used in the South, no? Or do you mean the dialect itself is unique compared to your Hokkien?

@chu @themushroomsound
🤭 In TW #Hokkien
*I would use 一張圖 vs 一幅畫 yet I am not entirely sure what is the difference between 圖 and 畫🤔
But according to wiki dictionary both classifiers are acceptable 👇圖: diagram; plot, chart; map; picture; image (acceptable classifier: 張/幅 ).
畫: drawing; painting; picture (acceptable classifier: 張/幅 )

@benjamingeer @chu what I find interesting is that you have specific elder aunt and younger aunt title, not sure about other #Hokkien speaker but in my family we dont do this
Dad's sister are all 阿姑, but use birth order to differentiate them as 大姑,二姑 the same goes with mum's sisters 阿姨
Tho we also use 嬸 for the wife of dad's younger brother, so 阿嬸. One thing is unique in Hokkien perhaps is the wife of dad's elder brother: 阿姆. Another is some Taiwanese will call mum 伊阿, 姨阿, 阿姨阿, 阿伊阿 -
Met a young Chinese-Indonesian yesterday in #Kyoto who was fluent in both #Hakka and #Hokkien. Was pleased to know that some of the younger generation in #Indonesia still speaks their heritage #Chinese languages.
